In Louisville, Kentucky the mayor’s Healthy Hometown Movement has produced a series of pro-breastfeeding PSA’s featuring a ‘talking’ baby, espousing the wonders of breast milk and encouraging viewers to appreciate public nursing. “Some people think breast-feeding in public is nasty, but it’s not,” the baby says. “It’s natural. And with Hooter Hiders, slings and the old baby blanket over the shoulder technique, Mom can feed me anywhere.” For a city’s mayor to back public breastfeeding in a nation where nursing moms still get gasped at, censored and arrested, I think this is a pretty huge step in the right direction. The ad’s caused quite an web stir, too (and generated more than one Chucky reference)… but not because of its message; the baby in question has a full set of teeth.

Following an incident in late November at a Houston area Target store where a breastfeeding mom, Michelle Hickman, was “harassed and humiliated” by Target employees for nursing her baby in the store, nurse-ins are being planned at Target stores in nearly every state across the country for 10 a.m. local time tomorrow morning.

There’s no question that working moms of breastfed babies have got it tough—trying to find a place and time to pump every couple of hours in order to maintain their supply and produce enough milk for bottles while they’re away from their babes. And while we’ve heard about moms who have been forced to pump in storerooms, public restrooms, and other less-than choice locales, fortunately we can’t think of many who have used a breast pump while driving.
